Re: [go-nuts] Re: pet peeve: it's Go not golang
I was just being silly Skip :) Lang is itself (as opposed to Erlang) quite a popular surname in itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lang_(surname) Though it would be good to lighten the mood a little by making a jest :)(if we can't laugh at ourselves, we'll never improve :) In fact, i had a friend named Lang… and every time he ran on the track, we said… Go Lang. Go! ;) On Mon, Jul 31, 2017 2:43 PM, Skip Tavakkolian skip.tavakkol...@gmail.com wrote: Erlang is assumed to be a node to the Danish mathematician Erlang, an important figure in telephony queuing theory.

Golang helps much, when searching for Go related programming issues all over the internet If there was a programming language called "The", try searching for "The" on the internet to get help for "The".. You will have difficulty. Unless you search for TheLang. Whelp... Off to create "The" programming language ;-) Laters! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.

Re: [go-nuts] Re: pet peeve: it's Go not golang
I was specifically referring to things posted to this list to avoid the old chestnut about search. For what it's worth, I don't buy that argument either. Searching for "game of life in go language" works just as well. Correctness matters even when nobody is looking.

And that's precisely why the term "golang" exists. It's basically a hashtag. The people who understand that are as irritated by people misusing it as thinking people are by "couldn't care less."

Re: [go-nuts] Re: pet peeve: it's Go not golang
Google Search is weird. I searched for "game of life in go" and all ten links were great hits for just that. When I search for "go game life", the implementation of Conway's game is the fifth link; still not so bad.

Yes, the language name is Go, but sometimes real life matters. Imagine I want to search for a Go implementation of Conway's Game of Life, but I don't quite remember the game name, so I search for: go game life Nothing. Otherwise, if I search for golang game life I get plenty of entries directly related to what I was looking for.
